They travel throughout the growing and harvest season to forge and sustain direct trade relationships with the farmers and COOPs in order to ensure responsible and sustainable coffee farming thus sourcing the highest quality green coffee. In fact, Counter Culture has set the standard for direct trade. Counter Culture ensures each coffee is roasted to highlight the unique characteristic of each individual coffee their growing region.

Through our partnership with Counter Culture Coffee, tazza doro is incredibly excited and honored to bring to Pittsburgh some really fine coffees that can only be tasted and experienced at either our Highland Park or CMU locations!

These coffees will be single farmer lots, potentially from all coffee growing regions, and ranging anywhere from 50 lbs to 375 lbs.

Why td’o exclusive coffees? We have sampled many coffees that Counter Culture puts on their cupping table. With td’o in mind, the awesome folks at CC send us coffee samples that they think we might be interested in trying. Of those we find incredibly delicious based on our preferences, and the story behind the farm and coffee totally jives with our vision, values and passions, we ask Counter Culture to purchase the green coffee; we commit to purchasing the total lot available. Counter Culture then roasts our coffee to enhance to it’s characteristics, while we focus on finding the best brewing method for you to experience a cup of gold!
